Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Wednesday, almost every day the Trump administration does something that requires a frame of reference to understand. Tariffs, bombings, dictator interventions, on and on. The American news industry is supposed to explain important stories to we the people who might not understand what the deuce is going on. Nicholas Maduro, isn't he a shortstop for the Yankees? It is unrealistic to think that regular folks can process complicated stories thousands of miles away. The media is mandated to help the people understand by reporting facts.

But that is not what is happening in America. Ideology, not fact-finding, is driving many in the press. In addition, a lot of reporters and pundits simply do not know very much. In short, they're not smart enough to do their jobs. President Trump removed the dictator Maduro the exact same way President Bush, the elder, took out Panamanian dictator Noriega in 1989. Did you hear that referenced in the news, especially the first couple of days? Not very much.

And that is why the media is collapsing. The purveyors simply do not know very much about history. And they don't care. Back in a moment. That is the morning O'Reilly update. More analysis later on.
